Mother I`m leaving and I`m proud to go please don`t be grieving I love you so
Here in this pocket over my heart is the Bible you gave me your gift as we part
My country needs me you know that`s true pray for me mother till this war is through
God will protect me you must be brave mother I thank you for the Bible you gave
Mother I`m writing this letter to say I love my Bible I read it each day
And when I read it my body`s drawn near the blessed scripture they love to hear
Mids all this turmoil of earthly things what peace and comfort the Holy word brings
Mother don`t worry I will be saved mother I thank you for the Bible you gave
Mother when battle just has been won you`ll have a hero now for a son
I have been wounded left there for that God in his mercy spared me instead
My Bible saved me it played its part it`s stopped the bullet aimed at my heart
Your blessed present my life has saved mother I thank you for the Bible you gave
